TL2171 : Ash dieback disease

taken 1 year ago, near to Brampton, Cambridgeshire, Great Britain

Ash dieback disease

Caused by a fungus, Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, an ascomycete with an asexual stage called Chalara fraxinea, hence the established common name of the disease, Chalara dieback, which is widespread in Europe and now spreading in the UK since 2012, Here in Hinchingborooke Country park it was evident but not yet badly affecting the extensive ash population, and maybe amongst abundant seedlings there will be resistant plants.
